This talk on the Noble 8 Fold Path was recorded by me in 2012 at a studio in Colombo, Sri Lanka about two weeks before I left the country April 2012.The talk accurately explains the reason for calling the folds of the 8-Fold path “Harmonious” and explains how this fulfills idea of a "Right Fold step". near the end of the talk, I seem to have slipped in for you a short instruction for the Forgiveness Meditation and I give you a link for the full instructions for that practice. The main points of this talk did come across rather clearly, although very basic with such short time, and I do hope you enjoy it.

You are cordially invited to join us now on the Rose Apple Mind Channel for Talk #4 " An Informative Dependent Origination Workshop". https://youtu.be/mY37TQwrtuk

Talk # 4 Covers Dependent Origination workshop which was done few years ago. This talk about 1 Hour long.

This talk is a phenomenological examination of Dependent Origination so that you can examine one event like how anger arises in daily life. Once you understand this you also understand how any arising disturbing emotion operates and how you can change it in daily life.

In MN 28:28 and repeated in many other places,“He who sees the Dhamma, sees Dependent Origination; He who sees Dependent Origination, sees the Dhamma.”

TALK #2 is launched!You are cordially invited to join me now on the Rose Apple Mind Channel for Talk #2 " Managing the Hindrances".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lANmBtkSinYThis first group of talks were recorded in Sri Lanka in 2012. Will appear before the new talks come in. I want to thank Ven. Mettavihari for helping me to get started with these short videos. And I thank Ven. Kusula for helping me to make this connection. You have to start somewhere, eh?Talk #2 covers wholesome and unwholesome mind-states and managing Hindrances by following the Buddha's advice. If we will abandon our attention from them, let them go, relax, smile, and come back to gently stay with your object of meditation, then our entire practice will get clearer. If we leave those steps out, progress will not be the same. I encourage you to test this in your own practice.This talk advises us how to stay firmly with our object of meditation and not be disturbed by anything that arises. The Buddha taught his son Rahula to remember something found in MN-62, Maharaulovada Sutta that will remind us not to be distracted to leave your internal observation.There is also a description of Equanimity arising during a life threatening situation driving a truck. It can be a surprisingly strange experience. Please join me.

In June 2016, Ven. KhantiKhema will propose a joint project to weave back together again this simpler way of understanding abhidhamma by Rob Moult with her simple understanding of how to use it in daily life through learning by heart many of source stories and similes where the Abhidhamma came from in the Suttas. This then should bring alive the practical use of Abhidhamma into daily life. Book file is attached below.

That project should result in a book that becomes the BRIDGE for Abhidhamma and the Suttas once again.

Ven. Khanti Khema invites you to join a new adventure on the Rose Apple Mind Channel launching today! Listen to Dhamma Chats and support tips for better progress for your meditation practice. Listen closely and experience the gradual cessation of suffering in daily life.
